He did not mean to submit any pro position to t h e 1 - Toube upon the subjeol, neither did be make any complaint.

It also occurred in the case of Chief Justice 'telly, in the same reign, when . that House had instituted an inquiry by an 'examination of witnesses, though it had been thought proper af terwards to pOt a stop to that inquiry, He had been consulted as tothe course that was to be pursued in' the present case, and hid pointed out either of these courses. Upon tbe* . : whole, however, it would be to .be determined,- by taking the law, the IM, and evidence intn.consideration, whether any proceed. ing should be -resorted to. 'Those - who held that* the case was not such as to warrant a call for inqui« ry, would be of opinion the matter should rest as: It is ; whilst those on. the contrary, who might hold that the consequences affected the privilege :4 of that Houseovould decide for the more serious. it woul4 be for the. House in its wisdom to determine what coerie, tinder all the circumstances of the case, kalOtli4 . be resorted to. After a few words front Sir FRANCIS Buttawri and Mr. LCYCESTRR in explanation, the matter wag allowed to rest there. "HOUSE OF PEERS. NVEDNUSDAY, MAY 25. . In the second Roxburgh Appeal, ker and Tier v. James, Mr.. H. Erskine was further heard for the Appellant, Brigadier-General Ker.--**urther hearing on Saturday. In the Case of the Claim of the 13aphirry Peer. age, the LORD CHANCULLOR, after some observa nous, moved that the Claimant be hoard. in support of his Claim in the Committee of Privileges, on Tuesday ; which was agreed to. Several Private sills were brought froth the Coin- Mons by Mr. George Vonsittart, Lord Charles Manners, Mr. Sumner, : Mr. Byng, Mr. Graham,, and other Members, and read a first time. The Cork Duty .

Lord Hh\vxastirair Obseved, . that if the Noble Lord had made a Motion 'on the subjea, it would then be fbr the consideration of the House, whether airy account of the nature alluded to 'should be pre dticed. The House Went a Committee on the Al sessed 'Taxes Bill. The Earl of DARNLEY thought that the restriaions itt killing rabbits might prove injurious to agricul ture. These restriettons, however, being cooked to killing rabbits in warrens, in some measure obviat ed this objeillen. He objected, however, to making cOntinually trifling alterations in the Gatte Laws, but thought they might be much improved by making ganie property on the land where it was found, and legalizing 1(3 sale. Lord, HAW littlbitY observed, that no alteration was made by this Bill in the Garne Laws, except transferring the Certificate to the Assessed Taxes, and extending a little the operation of ,those Laws. With resped to the plan of the Noble Earl, some thing similar was some years since iu comempla. Cleo in. the other House, but it was then thought thht tt would lead to so much harshness and iecon- Venienee that it writ given up.

Sir AWritutt Proor commended the manner in which the Hon. Baronet had brought this •subjea under the consideration of the House, but having particularly direeled his attention to it, since it had been first mentioned in the House; he was 'of opi nion that the House could not interfere. The exe cution was by- the King's . writ, issued in the due course of justice, and surely that House could not ituartfem, ,it was sued out in an aaion founded upon . a comma express or implied. ,The Legisla ture had rendered the Candidates in counties liable for.the expences of ereeting booths for the conve ttience of • taking the poll at Eleetiens, for. these Counties, and though no such provision existed re speeling the 'Elettious for Boronghs, yet if persons required accommodation for their Chetk Clerks and Agents, they became liable, upon a contriva express or implied; for their propottioo of the expcnce of providing such accommodation. The Hon. Baronet had either of these courses to foll,)w, either to move for a new trial, to demur to the etidence, or to ten- . der a Bill of Exceptions. The former Course had been adopted, and the'rule for a • new trial had been refused. • As the execution therefore was in the due couraa of justice, it was nut d breach of the privi- Aeca ief that gnrisec get if zu..7 proreeditte were to be resorted to, It slienld be by some prospeaive le gisiativt: regulation, for he dkl not think it likely that the very Learned Judge had beets in .this instance Mr..

Earl STANHOPTI observed, with respe& to this till, that be should wish to move, that it be read a third this day eight montlis.) but as that motion would not be carried, he must confine himself to fixing a day, in order that Noble Lords might b aware of it, and when be hoped they would attend. F therefore proposed Monday. His Lordship ob served, with respe(it to trymg.a man to his absence, that a Jury it they found the defendant was not present to take care of his own defence, .might ac quit him, arid that a Jury would not be sahjeet to an attaint for an acqUittal.

Sir FRANCO BURDETT, Adverting to the commu, nication which be had thought it his duty to make to the House on a former night, relative to certain poceedings in one of the Courts below, which ap peared to him to trench upon, the Privileges of that 'louse, informed the House that the practical con sequences, for which it had been recommended to bi m to wait, had now taken place. 'He surd the House, that in bringing this veigiou again brfore wrong. Mr. TrERNRY was convinced that there could be no Ad amounting to a breach of the privileges of that House,, which the power of that House could nut reach. " He thot . ightlhat this was a very grave and serious question, asit affecled the privilegei of a Member of - that House. But here.lwbegged.tm.be • nnderstood not to-mean the slightest refleetion upon , tbe Noble and Learned Judge, than whom no per set more able or upright, nor less likely to:lnterfere' with the'privileges bf that House, had ever sat upon the Wench. No Judge, hosvever, was , infallible, and theliraeliee of the Court below sixlwed the, pos ' sibillty:of . a Judge - being mistaken, '.[his question ~ , rlsfeog'their peivileges oughtlobe set-at rest. It t Peen said that the expence was only two or three hundred,poueds; but if there had been but two Pan didate4; it might have been tool. Which would., have :seen a very heavy penalty upon a Candidate having only his qualification of 3001. a-year. • LitYctsTEß denied that the fait of the Ho- . nonrablellaronei having - the benetit of the elettion, was the ground ;upon which the verdid against the llon. Baronet had been founded. It had been lett to the Jury to decide, whether, under all the circumstancee.of the case, the'FlonOurable Baronet was not liable.. It had been proved that the agent. its his iwereat, and particularly one Percy, .had, day after day, clema t ich A t seats for the check clerks employed during the election. The Hon. Baronet seemed to have taken his itsformation krom. inaccu- . rate tuxes or hearsay, oust not tram ftnrauthentic source. Tlw, vircomitance of the Hon. .13ortitset travia;; takCit Ms seat, might have been mentioned, but he was certain that it was not the ground upon ' which the learned Judge. bad direCted the . Jary to find against the Hon. Gentleman, Air. ; Titsa N r Y explained._ IiATI/U 452 - declared, the more he had heard this, subret discussed, the more he was convinced it was utterly impessible for the House to interfere. — If they could net have Ines brought before them which could not be found upon the record, the ,House could not go into thesdiscussion. The Hon. Baronet therefore was right in not submitting any motion to the House upon the 'subjett, as it would `lead to no practical. result. The SPEAKER, after what had passed upon this aubietit, felt it incumbent upon him to state the views ' which he had upon the suhjed, reference having been made to what had fallen from him on a former evening. As far as he could recollefit what he then said, he had not advised the Hon. Baronet to wait fir any peatlieal 'consequences that might result from the 'proceedings of the Courts below. and then bring the matter before the House ; but that when those cotatequenees should Was place, if he should then tanttilpe of opinion that they amounted to a breach of The privileges of the House, he should submit it to I the consideration of the House. But as to the ques , lion ipmer a tiy, if brittle should be held by any Judge upon the bench, which was injurious to the privileges of - t h at ti ot tie, that House would rap- CATHOLIC PE:rITIONS. StIELUDANT presented a Petition from the Ro;. man Catholics of the County of Wexford, praying relief from fhe civil disebiliiies to which they are at present exposed.—Ordered to lie on the table. Similar Petitions were then presented from the Romae Catholics of Waterford, of the County and Chi of Kilkenny, of the County of lorry, by Sir John Newport, Mr. Butler,And Mr. M. raege. raid; which were severally ordered to lie on the table. • Mr. SHAW (of Dublin) presented a Petitioe.front the Lord-Mayor, Atdernien, and Common Council of the-City of Dtablitis; against the catholid.Peiition and Claims,, Wilide“Wt~s also ordered to lie db dais Mr. GRATraelfteti rose, and moved that the .Pee titian which he had presented from. the . 1.10 man ce. t thOcs of Ireland be read; which haviog been read accordingly, Mr. GitArr&N again rose, and adverting to the Petition which had just been read, •the nember of signatares , ail ite4l soul' to the vev,:r3l - 11: titions which had been that day laid upon the table upon, the same .subject, was conlident that the. House must feel that the Petitions contained the sense of the Catholics of Ireland. In what he had to say, therefore, on this occasion, be should sumo that they spoke the sense et the 'Catholics of Ireland. The Petitioners formed a considerable portion ofthereleiloraef that. House ;. they possessed p o liti ca l.. power; they applied to the constitutional organ for a legitimate objet. Theyrayer it their Petition he would recommend to, the Spirit of Concord, that nothing might be said in the debate which._ would sharpen the feelings of the public mind : and that, whatever might be the decision, though the restalt should n- ‘ : be according to that prayer,. yet nothing should occur in the die- CUSSiOn which might add irritation to disappainttlent. Irb those Gentlemen • who might be indisposed to the case Of the Petitioners, he would recommend toe to go back"to former times—not to go back to the Battle of the Boyne—uot to go back to the year 1745—n0t to those periods when both parties were, engaged in the heat of contest and divisions. It Gentlemen go back to these periods, the Catholics will go badk 864. If tou make out your case against them, they will make out their case against you.— Then it will be 'history against history—the man of blood against ire man of blood—both patties will re nnin nurt.iretielled and irreconcilable, whilst the victory will belong to the common enemy of both.— 'I not now loolc.back to those perlo44, .iyhen oppression and violence were pro &lced by the tiny of bigotry, lutoxiCated with vic tory. Tice two nations, in settling their accounts, would have somethiugto admire in vach, any much to forget. [he `Nurse of event rendered the ceasing of religious animosity fundamentally and absolutely tvevess:ff for the very existence of the.empire. What ever ditlerence of opinion there might be as' to the which kept up these distinetions, there was none as to disposition. The good sense of both nations had produced an etfea on the spirit of the Country, friendy - .10'.a, more liberal and tmlightened system of policy.' It-was therefore with regret that he had oh a late occasion seen written ou tie: walls, abuist this city, the words, ." No Popery. , ' , it was with very great regret Its saw Petitions presented to that House against the of th 4 Cgholics as it etrumatieg trout a fanatical people ? devoted to the rancorous bigotry. anxious to proscribe a great portion of : the ir - felltiwssebjeas, It was, theretere, with more satisla&ion he observed that, on the pre sent occasion, only one petition of that description, that presentw„: that day (by Mr. ShaW) had been prom &ming ainst the Pethionsof the CatholiCs. Thiti was a demonstration of the, favourable dispusititei of the pobliq mind. And it would indeed be strange if the contrary were to have been the case,w bast the Go vernment of the country • had given such He e xa m ple , of the liberality of its feelings t9w . Ws Catholics.
